Among the Yoruba, the health of a child is considered a reflection of both the family’s wellbeing. Skin conditions like impetigo, known locally as Eela, are taken seriously, as they can cause discomfort, infection, and lasting marks if untreated. This is why our forefathers developed Agbo Eela, a traditional healing system designed to treat impetigo in babies safely, soothe irritation, and prevent recurrence.Agbo Eela is more than a mixture of leaves and roots; it is an approach that strengthens the child’s skin, supports the immune system, and incorporates cleansing to remove influences that may weaken the child’s vitality.
For countless years, this practice has helped infants recover from skin infections long before hospitals or modern medicine were widely accessible. Even today, many families rely on these remedies as part of the natural option for their children.

Symptoms of Infant Skin Infections
In Yoruba tradition, elders and mothers paid close attention to signs that a child may be suffering from impetigo or similar skin infections. These observations helped them know when to prepare Agbo Eela remedies:
1) Red, itchy sores – Patches that appear around the face, hands, or diaper area.
2) Pus-filled lesions – Yellowish crusts forming on affected areas.
3) Spread of rash – Rapid expansion of sores across the skin.
4) Irritability and sleeplessness – Discomfort causes the baby to cry excessively or sleep poorly.
5) Excessive scratching or discomfort – Constant irritation indicating the child’s inability to cope with the affliction.
How Our Forefathers Treated Eela in the Past
When babies showed symptoms of impetigo, Yoruba elders used carefully structured remedies and rituals:
• Herbal decoctions — Leaves and roots boiled into gentle tonics to cleanse the skin and strengthen immunity.
• Bathing with selected leaves — Warm herbal baths to soothe inflammation and disinfect sores.
• Topical application — Crushed leaves or pastes applied directly to lesions for faster healing.
Included below are some of the plants and roots needed to prepare Agbo Eela:

Differences Between Yoruba and Modern Skin Infection Treatment
While both Yoruba and modern systems aim to treat skin infections, their approaches differ:
• Focus of healing —
Yoruba remedies emphasize utmost care of the skin and immunity; modern medicine focuses on antibiotics or topical creams.
• Materials used —
Yoruba healers rely on herbs, leaves, and natural pastes; modern treatment uses pharmaceutical ointments or medications.
• Approach to recurrence —
Yoruba healing includes spiritual cleansing and preventive care; modern medicine often relies on repeated prescriptions.
Safety First: Important Contraindications and Considerations
1) Age sensitivity — Remedies must be suitable for infants; strong herbs may harm delicate skin.
2) Underlying conditions — Babies with allergies or chronic illnesses require cautious use.
3) Quality of source — Herbs from polluted or chemically treated areas are unsafe.
